“PASTOR” (Shepherd) by Dulce Beatriz : Oil on Canvas 30″ x 42″ (76.2 cm x 106.7 cm)
A fine example of the work of Dulce Beatriz where the sun-burnt and wind-weathered face, the bright compassionate eyes, and the serene expression of this old man reflect his daily chore of tending to his flock out in the wide open spaces, under the Sun and wind, in communion with Nature. At the same time the folds of his robe reveal the strong arm and hand underneath as well as his wide powerful shoulders. In this painting, from a live model, Dulce Beatriz as it is typical of all her work on this subject matters has captured the character of this individual.
